It looks terrific. But what make is it? It looks circa 1949-50?

Hudson Hornet, of course.

Correct - and it's a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a 2-barrel carburetor. 1951 was the first year for the Hornet series and the car was quite early in production with a serial number of 9518. Twin-H Power (which featured two 1-barrel carbs) didn't become an option until 1952. I had a '53 Hornet with Twin-H Power when I first acquired the '51 in the picture. The '51 would blow the doors off of the '53. But the dual carbs sure were horny looking!
